Want to enjoy some green beer on St. Patrick's day, but aren't willing to consume all the chemicals and such that are found in food coloring? Well, here's the guide for you.

Steps

1

Get your hands on some light beer. Pale ales, light lagers, and wheat beers do just fine; the lighter the better! You want the coloring to show up as best as possible.

2

Try adding spirulina to your beer. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is incredibly high in protein and has a vibrant green color. Not only will adding spirulina to your beer help you achieve that lovely green beer color, it will also be great for your health. Just half a teaspoon of Spirulina powder should be enough for one pint.

3

Add powdered wheatgrass juice. Again, wheatgrass is also renowned for its health benefits; many people even take a wheatgrass "shot" to start off the day! Add a tablespoon of powdered wheatgrass to your beer for a lovely green color and a healthy kick.

4

Use liquid chlorophyll. People often use a few drops of liquid chlorophyll to color their foods; you can certainly put it in your beer as well! Be careful, however. Liquid chlorophyll is generally used as a health supplement, and is often found in a very concentrated form. Never use more than a couple of drops.

5

Use natural food coloring. Companies such as India Tree and Maggie's Naturals create all-natural, organic food coloring to help you indulge in your green beer without compromising your health. Simply purchase a small vial of this food coloring before St. Patrick's day and use a drop or two in your pint! That's all there is to it.
